87. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from from Salma ibn al-Khattab from al-Hassan ibn ‘Abd al-Rahman from Ali ibn abu Hamza from abu Basir from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious. “When Our clear revelations are recited to them, the unbelievers say to the faithful ones, “Which of us has a better position and is more prosperous?” (19:73) The Imam (a.s.) said
“the Messenger of Allah asked Quraysh (the powerful tribe in Makka) to acknowledge our (Wilaya Leadership with Divine Authority) they turned away and refused. The unbelievers of Quraysh told the true believers of Quraysh (those who acknowledged our Wilaya (Leadership with Divine Authority), “Which group of us has a better position and is more prosperous?” This was to humiliated the true believers. Allah in rebuttal said, “How many generations (people of the past) of greater prosperity and splendor have We destroyed before them?” (19:74) I then asked the meaning of, “(Muhammad), tell them, “The Beneficent God gives respite to those who have gone astray. . (19:75). The Imam (a.s.) said, “All them lived a life in error and did acknowledge Wilaya (Leadership with Divine Authority of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) and our Wilaya). They lived in error and lead others to error. Allah gives them time in their error and rebellion until they die. He then cuases them to have the worst of dwelling and be of the weakest parties.” I then asked him about the meaning of, “. . until they face the torment with which they were threatened or to the Day of Judgment. Then they will find out who will have the most miserable place and the weakest forces.” (19:75) The Imam (a.s.) said, “. . until they face the torment with which they were threatened. .” is the time of the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority. That is the time when they will find out what Allah will sent to them through the hands of al-Mahdi (a.s.) and thus, are His words, “. . who will have the most miserable place (at the time of the rise of al-Mahdi with Divine Authority) and the weakest forces.” (19:75) ).” I then asked about the words of Allah. “. . God further enlightens those who seek guidance. ..” (19:76) The Imam (a.s.) said, “Allah will grant them more guidance and certainty to follow Al-Qa’im (the one who will rise with Divine Authority) so that they will not reject or refuse his authority.” I then asked about the words of Allah. “. . no one will be able to intercede for the others except those whom the Beneficent God has given authority.” (19:87) The Imam (a.s.) said, “The acknowledgment of Wilaya (Leadership with Divine Authority) of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali and the Imams after him is part of the religion of Allah (a.s.) and this is the authority and the covenant before Allah.” I then asked about the words of Allah. “To the righteously striving believers God will grant love.” (19:96) The Imam (a.s.) said, “It is the love for Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) and to acknowledge his Wilaya. It is this love of which Allah speaks in His words. “(Muhammad), We have given it to you (the Book, the Quran) in your own language so that you could easily give the glad news to the pious ones and warn the quarrelsome ones.” (19:97). The Imam (a.s.) said, “It was made easy for him when Allah appointed Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) as the standard of truth. With him He gave glad news to the true believers and warning to the unbelievers. It is these unbelievers whom He has called “the quarrelsome ones” The narrator has said that I then asked him about the words of Allah. “. . so that you may warn a people who are unaware because their fathers were not warned (36:6).The Imam (a.s.) said, “It was to warn the people with whom The Holy Prophet (s.a) lived just as their forefathers were warned and they were unaware of Allah, His messenger and His warning. “. . (I swear) that most of them are doomed to be punished (for not acknowledging the Wilaya of Ali and the Imams after him (a.s.)) They have no faith (in the Wilaya of Ali and the executors of the will after him (a.s.).” (36:7) since they did not believe and their punishment was as such as Allah has mentioned, “. . We have enchained their necks up to their chins. Thus, they cannot bend their heads (in Hell) (to find their way) (36:8).(Then Allah has said, “. . We have set-up a barrier in front of and behind them and have made them blind. Thus, they cannot see.. .” (36:10) (It will be the punishment for not acknowledging the Wilaya of Ali and the Imams after him. This is in this world and in the nest life it will be Hell wherein they will not be able to raise their heard. Then Allah has said, “. . Whether you warn them or not, they will not believe.” (36:10) (in Allah and the Wilaya of Ali and the Imams after him (a.s.) Then Allah has said, “. . You should only warn those who follow the Quran (and Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.)) and have fear of the Beneficent God without seeing Him. Give them (O Muhammad), the glad news of their receiving forgiveness and an honorable reward (from God).” (36:11)”
